Scott Underhill: A Lifeguard's Journey from Addiction to Recovery

I have to say that, in that regard, I think that's why God saved me, because I'm able to touch a lot of people, able to touch a lot of kids, and I really try and instruct the kids about their fears.
Picture this: a sunny Southern California beach, where lifeguard Scott Underhill spends his days saving lives and keeping beachgoers safe. But beneath the surface of this idyllic scene lies a struggle with alcoholism that nearly cost him everything. In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Scott Underhill opens up about his incredible journey from addiction to sobriety, sharing how a life-threatening accident became the turning point in his recovery story.
With years of sobriety under his belt, Scott’s story is one of resilience and faith. He recounts the day a massive wave shattered his vertebrae, leaving him for dead and forcing him to confront his addiction head-on. Through the 12-step program and a deepening faith, Scott found a new way of life, regaining his physical and mental strength to return to the job he loves.
But it wasn’t just about getting back on the beach; Scott's journey also gave him a unique perspective on mentoring others, especially children, about facing fears and overcoming adversity. The episode dives into the portrayal of lifeguards in popular culture, the unique challenges of substance abuse in beach communities, and how podcasting can help break the stigma surrounding addiction.
Scott’s story is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's resilience and the role faith and community play in overcoming life's most daunting challenges. Tune in to hear how Scott Underhill transformed his life and continues to touch others through his dedication to recovery and helping those around him.
